Someone in my family, whom I adore, is a bit of a neat freak. (cough) The first time I ever visited her home, she kept warning me that it was messy, and when I went inside, I could not find a single piece of lint, not a single solitary item out of place. It was as perfectly designed as if it were going to be a magazine layout. Every. Single. Room. (I didn't look into cabinets at the time, but knowing her better five years later, I'm pretty sure they would have been perfectly organized as well.)
When we were out tonight for a friend's birthday, this otherwise brilliant woman confessed to what she'd done yesterday: a particular favorite blanket which had been used on a sofa had caused the sofa to pill... and she spent two hours shaving the sofa.
She. Shaved.... the sofa.
I am so going to mock her from now on. I may buy her a shaving kit for Christmas.
(I have warned her that this one's going in the next book. And it's not going to be flattering.) (heh)

Posted by: raven at November 7, 2005 02:25 PMHmm. Maybe you could introduce me to your friend? It would be great if she would come over and visit... and out of pure inability to resist start shaving my couch and picking up all the stray cat hair too.
